How often do you guys seal your driveways? I have an exposed aggregate, did it 2 years ago..was gonna wait until next year to get it done again?

Every 2 years is "ideal" with exposed Agg but definitely every 3 years as a minimum would be my take on it.

I used the following. Not sure if it was ever really done on my driveway in the past. I was really happy with the results. Prep + application took about 3-4 hours for a regular two car garage. Most of it is in the cleaning/blowing

I'm a firm believer in the solvent based ones. The more volatile, stinky horrific chemicals that are in there, the better.
If it smells like it's actively giving you cancer, it's letting you know what a great job it's doing. LoL!

So I had no idea this was a thing until reading this thread, so thanks for mentioning it. Our place is 10 years old and I can't imagine anyone has done maintenance previously. Just clean it out thoroughly and roll on the sealant with a paint roller?

Our stairs and front walkway.

1. Clean insanely thoroughly and let dry minimum 24hr before application.
2. Product must not be applied when DRIVEWAY is above recommended temperature. Remember that driveway temp is often >10° more than outside air. It's best to apply it super early in the morning.
3. Consider a proper pesticide respirator. The good sealers and loaded with shitty chemicals. Also get a fucking wide-ass roller with a deeper nap.
4. Roll it on thin at first until you get a feel for it. You can throw more on after but you risk lifting it and getting spaghetti stringers.
5. Watch driveway drink it up and look dull again within a week because it's never been done.
6. Tell yourself you're paying Titan to do it next time.
7. Curse TPiM and his family.

Thanks man. I think our job would be too small for anyone to bother coming over.

You'd be surprised for stuff like this. Especially if you can get anyone else in on it on the same block or neighbourhood
